OK, I've done this half-hearted self-promotion on Metafilter before, and people encouraged me to post if I was doing another gig (and it's taken this long to get one) - I'll be playing a thirty-five minute set, probably at about 9:15 at The Stage Door in Waterloo (behind the Old Vic, nearest tube Waterloo). Free entrance. [more inside]

Hey all, so I'm relatively new to the Phoenix area and would love to chill with the local mefites. How about a mid-week happy hour?
ok. How's everyone with next Thursday, 12/6, at Angel's Trumpet at 6pm?

Remember when we went to Federal Donuts and it was miserably hot out but we had adventures all over the city and it turned out to be a pretty great day in spite of the weather? Let's do it again in the bitter cold! [more inside]

*EDIT* I changed the meetup time to 2:30 since that's when we'll be meeting, but you should still buy tickets for 3:00!
The Space Shuttle Endeavor has just come to LA, and I'd love to get acquainted with it along with some fellow MeFites.
There's a $2 ticket fee, you should buy your tickets for the 3:00 show here http://www.californiasciencecenter.org/ (we're meeting at 2:30 to organize ourselves before going in)

The Holiday Ale Festival is being held Nov. 28th - Dec. 2nd, 2012 in Pioneer Square. We missed last year's and nearly missed this one! You can buy advance tickets on the website (wristband, required tasting mug, and 12 tickets, $30 + $3.40 processing fee) or at the door ($30, wristband/mug/10 tickets). Who's with me?
EDIT: Date/time changed to avoid conflict with Game Day. It's open Wed/Thu/Fri eves until 10pm, or we could do Sunday afternoon to avoid the evening crush.

Remember nostalgia? Remember authenticity? Remember feelings? Remember indie rock?
Relive your glory days with Live Band Indie Rock Karaoke:
Sign up early or at the door to belt out your favorite songs by-- Guided By Voices, Pavement, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Moldy Peaches, Belle & Sebastian, Pavement, Arcade Fire, New Pornographers, Pavement, Pavement, and many more!
Or just hang out and watch the emotional detachment pop like fireworks...
All free. All real. All for you. Come out won't you?
(but come early, the show will only be from 7-9, then Spike Hill kicks us all out) [more inside]

Hi all Roma MeFites,
Looks like we've settled on Eataly. Still slightly up in the air as to whether it's Monday or Tuesday but for now, we'll meet at the Eataly front entrance at 12:00 PM, Tuesday, 4 December.

As I feel eideteker has a number of points concerning the December 9th Meetup, and it's not often that folks from out of town get to see other members of the community, I propose a counter-shindig the same hour and day over at Becco, which is 2 blocks away in Time Square.
Thus, in the spirit of civility and diplomacy, the two groups can converge afterward and shake hands. Who's with me, comrades?

Thanksgiving! A! Pageant! is a pageant (about Thanksgiving). Join such luminaries as Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, and Jesus the Christ as they tell the story of the first meeting between the godly Pilgrims and those wacky Natives (who didn't even speak English!). Featuring songs, Squanto, Dutch punk teenagers, King James I of England, a dream ballet, and more, this is the real story of how America became... America. But you know like AMERICA. One night only, Thursday, November 29th, 8pm at Ars Nova. Here is a thing to click to get tickets, which are $12, and which are totally worth it, I swear. [more inside]

Any MeFites at the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene in Atlanta this year? It's coming to an end, but there might be time to grab a drink and meet your fellow parasitology/ epidemiology/ microbiology/ health policy wonks. Tonight is the last evening, but it's possible to have a post-meeting lunch tomorrow afternoon. Meet at the Marquis Marriott, then select a second location for drinks and/or lunch?

I've got to call a meet up before a life event: I'm moving to Belleville for a photojournalism program at the beginning of January, and would like to see all of you one last time before I go. [more inside]

Previously in trivia: Can it have been a month since Benevolent Dick-Taters and Occupy Sesame Street! graced the doorway of the Maple Leaf Pub? Yes, we had enough players to make two teams! Come help us grab the best seat! Steak and potatoes are served at 7, and trivia is served at 8.

Trying a meetup at an earlier time to accommodate more people: so I'm calling this one for Sunday, November 25, at 5:30 PM until... whenever! I've decided on the Huether in uptown Waterloo: it's right on King St. so it's easy to get to, they're open late, they have plenty of room for a group, and they have a wide variety of food and drink options. [more inside]

Hey Baltimore mefites!
I'm here for a short time (til about right before Thanksgiving) for work and wanted to see if anybody wanted to meet up, get a drink, whatever.
I have no car, a weird schedule, and am kinda/sorta near Lexington Market.

Hi,
I'll be in London near Lincoln's Inn Fields next week, from Sunday to noon Thursday. Any London mefites want to meet a mefite from the U.S.? I have no car but a sense of adventure. I'll buy you a pint, of whatever.

Confirmed: Wednesday, November 14th, 6ish
Hey Main Line (and interested parties in Philly/other suburbs!)
Tired Hands Brewing in Ardmore worked out really well last time-- good beers, in pours of 4 ounces - Growler, homemade bread and butter, and good company. We survived the hurricane, so perhaps a pre-Thanksgiving Meetup is in order? Let me know dates/times that work best, and see you soon! [more inside]

Let's try again, shall we? We have Pandemic, Ticket to Ride, Scrabble, and Risk, and I will probably buy Small World or Dominion before this comes around. We have three tables for playing games, and will provide a small amount of snacks. Bring snacks and drinks that you'd like to have. I propose that we do this on either Saturday, Dec. 1, or Sunday, Dec. 2. Once again, we'll start at 2pm. [more inside]

It's been quite a week! Let's drink it out on Saturday at the 4th Ave Pub at 5pm on Saturday.
I will also be at the Brooklyn Inn tonight (Thursday) at 8pm but I'm not sure anyone will see this by then!

Sorry about the short notice!
Some mefites from the Bay Area are heading south to Los Angeles to see The Thrilling Adventure Hour. We'd love to see other mefites while we're down there!
We'll be down there Friday through Sunday, but we're booked Saturday night.
